Advice required about Hole repair kits for porcelain

Has your customer seen it? what did they say?
I'd eat my poop sandwich and smash that tile out if there's any spare.
just have to repair the wall.

I’ll change the tile if they ask me too but they’re pretty easy going types and the hole will be covered up most of the time as the bracket for the console (to the left of the hole) is a towel rail and will be holding towels 😀

I’ll try the repair kit and see how it looks... be interested to see the result before smashing it out... and going on their reaction.

Cheers.

Thanks - which kit is the one to go for?

Full kit, about £50

Yes, that’s one of the vids I’ve seen, but they don’t have any clips dealing with a wall tile repair.... only horizontal repairs which is a bit suspect! Does the wax run out of the hole before it cools and sets???

No, dries instantly, and I mean instantly. Walls or floors makes no difference.
Biggest problem with it is that the chrome plate comes off heater tip exposing brass underside, this can contaminate the resin and make it dirty, thus changing its colour.
